Parkinson’s disease conference Oct. 27 at Okoboji
Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, the Iowa Chapter of the American Parkinson Disease Association and local advocates are teaming up to bring an educational Parkinson’s disease conference to Okoboji on Thursday, Oct. 27, from 12:30-5 p.m. It will be held at Maser Monarch Lodge located on the campus of the Dickinson County Nature Center on Nature Center Road.
The free program is designed to be an afternoon of learning for people with Parkinson’s, their care partners, loved ones and anyone with an interest in learning more about the disease.
According to Sue Boettcher, Dickinson County Extension Adult Program Coordinator, Parkinson’s disease is a type of movement disorder that can affect the ability to perform common daily activities. It is a chronic and progressive disease, meaning that the symptoms become worse over time. Most people who develop symptoms do so sometime after the age of 50, but Parkinson’s disease can affect younger persons as well.
Presenters are Susan Callison, Iowa Chapter of the American Parkinson Disease Association; Kasandra Diaz-Santana, Jessy Brown and Brandon Brockshus, Iowa State University graduate students studying Parkinson’s disease; Joe Verschoor, DPT, with Lakes Regional Healthcare; Victoria and Bob Miller, local advocates with Parkinson’s disease; and Andrew J. Ridder, MD, with Avera Medical Group Neurology.
The program is free to all attendees; however, registration is required to plan adequately for seating and materials. Register online at https://go.iastate.edu/AEVHC2 or call the Dickinson County Extension office at (712) 336-3488.

Scharnberg Pond to be stocked with trout
Eighteen lakes across Iowa are gearing up to receive trout this fall.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources will release between 1,000 to 2,000 rainbow trout at each location as part of its cool weather trout program that brings trout to areas that cannot support them during the summer months.
Locally, Scharnberg Pond east of Everly will be stocked Nov. 5 at 12:30 p.m.
The fall community trout stockings are a great place to take kids to catch their first fish. A small hook with a night crawler or corn under a small bobber or small simple spinners such as a Panther Martin or Mepps is all you need to get in on the fun.
Bringing trout to cities and towns offers a “close to home” option for Iowans who might not travel to northeast Iowa to discover trout fishing. A family friendly event is often paired with the stocking to help anglers have success and fun while fishing.
The popular program is supported by the sales of the trout fee. Anglers need a valid fishing license and pay the trout fee to fish for or possess trout. The daily limit is five trout per licensed angler with a possession limit of 10.
Children age 15 or younger can fish for trout with a properly licensed adult, but they must limit their catch to one daily limit. The child can purchase a trout fee, which will allow them to catch their own limit.
